This has already been tabbed in the olga archive but I found that parts
of it just didn't sound right. Whats here is good (at least to my ear,
and last time I checked they were working pretty good!!!). Granted
there are parts that may be wrong but I'm gonna be egotistical and
believe it's all correct!!

There's another guitar part other than what I've tabbed here
but I don't know it and I couldn't be bothered figuring it out.
You can probably find it somewhere else if you want it that badly.

Intro/Bridge:

I've only written the relevant chord once but just play it as long as
it lasts in the song. All down strokes.

C F |E| G (G)
e||-----------------------------|-|---------------------------------||
B||-----------------------------|-|---------------------------------||
G||.-5----------------10--------|9|--------------------------------.||
D||.-5----------------10--------|9|-------5------(5)X--------------.||
A||--3-----------------8--------|7|-------5------(5)X---------------||
E||-----------------------------|-|-------3------(3)X---------------||

Play this part twice in the intro and the bridge.
The 'E' above is only played during the bridge between the first chorus
and the second verse.

Verse: (All the ...)

C G F G
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|----5--------------------------------------------------------------|
D|----5------5-------3-------5---------------------------------------|
A|----3------5-------3-------5---------------------------------------|
E|-----------3-------1-------3---------------------------------------|

Chorus: (Say it ain't so ...)


e|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|------5------------------------------------------------------------|
D|------5--let-this-ring---------------------------------------------|
A|------3------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------|

(na na, na na...)
C G F
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---5---------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---5--------5---------3--------------------------------------------|
A|---3--------5---------3--------------------------------------------|
E|------------3---------1--------------------------------------------|

There's a small interlude after the second chorus which lasts three or
four bars it's very simple but I'm not sure what to call the last
chord. I suppose it's a cross between a 'D' and a 'G' so I'll tab it
as D/G.

Interlude:

C F D/G
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|----5-------10--------12-------------------------------------------|
D|----5-------10--------12-------------------------------------------|
A|----3--------8--------10-------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------10-------------------------------------------|

In the two choruses played after this there is an extra two lines of
lyrics instead of the "na na," bit.
The same progression thats played at that "na na," bit is played over
these two new lines.
I think it's played over the "say it ain't so" bit aswell instead of
letting it just ring, but do it the way you prefer it.

On the last line of the song it goes into a CODA. This is my
interpretation (chord for chord this time).

CODA:

e|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-----------------------------------|
D|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5---5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5------X-X-3------|
A|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3---5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5------X-X-3------|
E|-----------------------------------3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3------X-X-1------|

The chord spacings arn't right because it's played and sung pretty
fast and I can't fit it in right but you can see whats played (and
roughly when its played in relation to the lyrics) but its not precise.
Go by your ear it'll be much more accurate.
